The South is distinguished from virtually every other region of our great country. It is often referred to as the "Bible Belt," because of its deep Christian roots and family values. From a military and patriotic perspective, the South, per capita, has more American war heroes and Congressional Medal of Honor winners than any other region in the country. And chivalry continues to live in the South It is a blessed land of faith, family, honor, tradition, and hope. But it did not become this way by mere chance. Our forefathers established this special region of America, and General Robert E. Lee must certainly be counted amongst those pivotal greats. He changed the course of American history for the better ... and this book tells you why I began this project expecting to edit a collection of war stories penned by the great Southern General, but wound up getting a rather unexpected and privileged view of a complicated man of passion, conviction, faith, hope, and love. This is the makeup of General Robert E. Lee, an extraordinary gentleman who shares with us his life through his many public and private letters during the most tumultuous time of conflict in the history of the Republic. Through a fascinating collection of letters to his family and friends, government representatives, and critics, General Lee shares his journey down the road less travelled, and unveils a powerful and little-known account of the man, his time, and his motivations. It is a portrait of the private man few have observed, and this is what makes this book so personally compelling and historically powerful Resurrecting Lee is a work for all Americans to better understand the past and more-effectively plan for the future. Robert E. Lee's own words are documented in this work, a priceless collection of selected thoughts and utterances of a man who changed the course of American history, and laid the foundation for the world's greatest power since the Roman Empire, and the last best hope of man on earth. This is his legacy, one worth resurrecting and studying by this generation, and the generations of Americans to come.
